About livetennis

This extension exposes the Live Tennis API as DuckDB table functions: live_tennis_matches() (matches currently in play), live_tennis_fixtures([tour]) (upcoming scheduled fixtures) and live_tennis_players(search) (player search). Coverage spans ATP, WTA, Challenger, ITF and junior Grand Slam draws.

An API key is required; the free tier (30 requests/minute, 100/day, no card) covers everything the extension exposes. The key can be provided with CREATE SECRET (TYPE livetennis, API_KEY '...'), the livetennis_api_key setting, or the LIVE_TENNIS_API_KEY environment variable.

This extension is maintained by the Live Tennis API team.
